|  1:18 help needed
hi i just got my 1:18 jeep rock crawler friday and yesterday while it was charging i took a pen and cut it and lengthened the wheel base front and rear, I then gave it a bit of a body lift cause the tires were hitting im wondering how to take off the wheels, if there is a way to widen the width of the wheel base, and how to do a tummy tuck? TIA Steve |

i didnt want to blemish the pretty chrome.......  do the 1:6 tires fit the 1:18? or is that asking for stuff to brake??? oh and it seems that the front tire is held on by a screw and the back is a small bolt trying to think of a way of widening the width of the wheelbase i have a few ideas  Last edited by we3jeepers; 02-27-2006 at 05:56 AM.

Try taking the 4 screws out of the back of each wheel and put the back part of the wheel on backwards. Little wider and taller This is where I found it running skinny claws |

Only the 1/6th includes the tool for removing the caps. I have tried lots of things, and the only thing that made a difference was custom cutting the tires, and removing the springs from the shocks.
